Why the scores diverge

The 59-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.

Boomerang: Characters appear mostly organic to the romantic comedy genre, with some emphasis on gender dynamics but not feeling tokenistic or symbolic beyond their narrative roles.
